Are we going to hit the bottom of the barrel first, then innovate, or maybe it will be too late to innovate then. Or are we going to wean ourselves off of oil, which doesn't seem to be happening.

Kinda depends on just how much oil there is to be pumped up,when we do run out and i presume it to be an inevitability sooner or later we had better have alternate energy infrastructure in place or we will be in for some rough times.
